US Democratic congressman asks Trump to release list of Trump dinner attendees

 according to The Guardian, as doubts about the deep and secret connections between the Trump administration and the cryptocurrency industry continue to rise, a senior Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives has demanded that Donald Trump publicly disclose the list of attendees at a private dinner hosted last week for the main investors in his Meme coin TRUMP.

At a glittering cryptocurrency conference in Las Vegas this week, as the Trump administration gave the green light to the industry, Jamie Raskin, a congressman from Maryland and chief Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, called on Thursday for an investigation into the private dinner held last week at Trump's golf club in Virginia, which was specifically for the main buyers of his TRUMP digital token.

In a letter, he wrote: "Releasing this list will allow the American people to understand who is putting tens of millions of dollars into our president's pocket, so we can begin to figure out what they got in return for these huge sums of money, apart from the almost worthless Meme coin."

As Vice President JD Vance and other senior Trump administration officials appeared in Las Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday to promote the U.S. government's crypto-friendly policies to industry leaders and investors at the "Bitcoin 2025" conference, Raskin's call for an investigation followed suit.
